really good example of a beater, a bike that does what you want it to do, rather than how you like it to actually look.

looks awesome appart from the bar angle.

I was going to says that, but coming from me, best not to.

bar angle suits me well when i want to be relaxed but still leaning down in the drops. think someone told me i needed a shorter stem once. I have more of this tin-foil tape if someone wants to do the same

Must be horrible on the hoods tho.You could get a bar that would give you both positions although I'm guessing you're not about spending money on it.

He just spend a lots of money on Gatorskin, Gatorskin.

that bitch is all about money.

Where did you get the tin-foil tape from? Is it just like a roll of Sellotape but foil? Cheers.

its is like sellotape. used in professional insulations to seal panels together. it is aluminium i think. can be peeled off little bit at a time.

@ed - not gatorskins. my favourites, the armadillos.. "tough but true"

worse than stickers covering the bike

meh i have this discussion with my mates, some of them admire it, everyone agrees that looks arent everything and its an advantage to have the ugliest bike in the bunch. My other bike is in Porn

"my other bike is in Porn" should be made into a sticker for everyones beaters

Most stickered bikes look cheap and childish. Foiltape makes the bike look worthless to a thief and looks much better than stickers imo
